Horcruxes

Voldie was only up to six parts when he tried to kill Harry. There is one horcrux that has to have been made after V came back 'alive' in the fourth book.

I agree that it could very possibly be Harry that may be a horcrux, but I've discussed that theory so much I'm actually started to get sick of it! My main idea is that he's a horcrux (and became one accidentally the night Voldie tried to kill him when everything went wrong) and has to sacrifice himself in order for someone else to finish off the last part of Voldemort's soul

But to put a horcrux in a person who would side with Dumbledore/Harry, Voldemort may think he is insuring his survival, knowing that Harry would NEVER kill Ginny, and therefore keeping part of his soul alive within her so that he is still immortal. I don't think Ginny is necessarily ALREADY a horcrux, but she may become one before the end of the series.

Dumbledore is "quite cleverer than most men" and his mistakes are "correspondingly huger" to quote the wizard himself. Ginny may be yet to become a horcrux, if Voldemort didn't use Frank's murder. Do you think Nagini could possibly be the final horcrux? How would Voldemort have found Ravenclaw's wand?

I'll have to check out the ravenclaw-wand in Voldemort's possession theory, it sounds awfully interesting. Voldemort doesn't *need* something of Ravenclaw or Gryffindor's as a horcrux, Dumbledore just mentioned that it would have probably seemed very appealing to him to use objects from the four founders. It seems unlikely that he'd settle for three out of four though, doesn't it? Which leads me to believe he wants/needs a Gryffindor relic. The only one Dd mentions is the sword-- however, we know that the Sorting Hat was also Gryffindor's ("Gryffindor whipped me off his head and they put brains in me instead" or something). Since neither of those objects we think to be a horcrux, it just seems possible if not likely that IF the Weasleys were descendants of Gryffindor that Voldemort would want to use Ginny.

Imagine this: Voldemort makes Ginny a horcrux. Harry then has to either decide to kill Ginny or to let Voldemort live. Voldemort knows Harry is incapable of doing something like killing Ginny, therefore insuring his survival. Thoughts?

Good idea! I think that you are much smarter than V though :)

Dumbledore thinks that Voldemort had been planning on making his last horcrux the night he tried to kill Harry. If he failed, he would not have been able to make the last horcrux until the end of the fourth book. And if Dd thinks that Nagini can be a horcrux, I think any living thing can be. And Ginny could have very well been born when he lost his power. When is her birthday?

Thanks. I'm not sure how likely it is either, but I want to explore every possible theory.

yes, according to Dumbledore, the book was a horcrux. I'm just saying she could possibly be one too. For some reason I've always just wondered or assumed that the Weasleys were descendants of Gryffindor. How amazing would that be for them...
